We are not able to flash radio on ally currently with ra or with clock work ( I built the newest 3.0+ clockwork recovery to try). Fastboot doesnt do it either (errors). If it comes back success its a placebo from recovery and doesnt actually flash it. Anyone that had a phone SHIPPED with software newer than VS740ZV06 will need to downgrade. Its on upc label if still there under bin version what you have shipped. Downgrade is to be done via LGMU to ZV06 to get and keep root with fastboot enabled bootloader after taking the ota and ones in the future. Do not do the LGMU Updater method to froyo as you will lose the bootloader.

Work around for this is being looked into with no success yet.

Only ZV06 shipped or downgraded to ZV06 will have fastboot bootloader as bootloader is NOT changed via ota.

Do not discuss any LGMU expoits either as they are already being closed on other devices and can be expected to be closed in the future.

Added : If you are unsure shipped version downgrade to be sure.

Full instructions to root ota with ZV06's bootloader will be posted soon.

Here's those instructions:
-At this time, this guide is only possible by using either Windows XP or Windows 7 (32bit or 64bit) operating systems.
-Download all files indicated in red, and double check that all folders and files are in place.
-Make sure to read the entire guide before starting Step 1!

4. Run C:\Froyo\LGVS740\KP500-Utils-En.exe in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 and as an Administrator. (Only if you are not running Windows XP)

5. Choose option J

6. When prompted for phone model number, type "VS740" and then press enter

7. When prompted for the cab file, type "VS740ZV6_01.cab" and then press enter (you do not need to specify the location of the cab file)

8. When prompted for the version, type "VS740ZV6_01" and then press enter.

9. It should now load the familiar LG Manual Updater screen with a log window below and start reading information from your phone. It will proceed to flash your device.

If your firewall warns you about trying to access the internet, allow it.

Your phone will now load a screen that displays the LG and Verizon Wireless logos and says: DOWNLOADING! DO NOT UNPLUG!

At this point, it is now flashing the update to your phone. This normally takes around 20 minutes to complete. Once complete, your phone will automatically reboot.

10. RUN C:\Froyo\ADB.bat
DEVICE MANAGER WILL OPEN AUTOMATICALLY

11. Expand "ADB Bootloader Device" (Might be listed as "Android!" Under Other Devices)

12. Right click and choose "Update Driver or Install Driver"

13. Select "I will choose driver to install"

14. Navigate to where the Android USB drivers are (eg: C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver) (If file or directory doesn't exist see Step 2).

15. Choose "android_winusb.inf" and accept that this is an unsigned driver it should notify you that the driver was successfully updated.
-It also may state that it can't find suitable driver, if it does simply state you will look yourself and choose "Single ADB Boote Loader" or the like.

16. We handle the rest!

Congratulations! You have now successfully updated to Froyo 2.2.1 with a custom recovery and root access! Aren't you proud of yourself?

For everyone that still has fastboot (this is pretty much anyone running a 2.1 custom rom as well as a few others) savoxis has made a fully automated magical wonder flasher! There are both a windows and linux version:

Open a Terminal and navigate to the extracted dir (eg cd /home/penguins/Downloads/Froyo/)

Type sudo sh froyo.sh

These tools where made with simplicity in mind, make sure with the tux variant that you run the script as root, you do this by using sudo before the command (in ubuntu) on other distros you can just su before running

On some distros you may need to set permissions for the script (tux only) do this (as root) by typing chmod +X ./froyo.sh (assuming you are in a terminal in the same directory) Most of you shouldnt need to do this.

Can I follow these instructions if I am currently running Velocity .4? My baseband version reads VS740MV7.5210.1013 and right now clockwork recovery is flashed. Thanks. If all goes well I will be donating.

Trident, there are a few issues:
#15 should be cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (credit: AfterAffekt)
After #15: Open SDK and go to Available Packages>Google Inc>Google USB Driver Package
Before #17: Windows 7 users: Upon entering fastboot and letting Windows choose your USB driver you must click on the update and choose SKIP WINDOWS UPDATE
Vista/XP users: Open the containing folder that has the new google drivers (e.g. google-usb-driver) and find android_winusb.inf
#23 you need to move the contents of \platform tools into the \tools folder (just so AdbWinApi.dll is in the directory)
after #28 you should have a disclaimer to not let your phone boot. immediately pull the battery or hold the button combination right away
